You honestly can't expect average americans to cut out hedonism, it's never gonna happen. Middle class people spend about 50% of their cash on luxuries, wealthy 60%, poor 40%. So hedonism is a far bigger part of American Society than you'd think.

Also, the average american isn't all too intelligent (and most people actively live inside of a dunning-Kruger self-circlejerk so me, or whoever is reading this will likely fit into that average category) so before you could ever get slightly close to having everyday americans start researching cancer instead of developing dick pills for a quick cash-grab- you'd have to have some type of system (perhaps a part of school) implementing those values in people who haven't grasped them.

I always felt bad for Karl Marx....its the same reason communism could never work. I know there are a lot of great people making huge advances, most of whom and which we will never know much about....and thats sad that their innovations take a back seat to dog ears and talking cat apps. Ive been told I shouldnt be mad about people using their talents to further dumb down the populace instead of finding ways to contribute meaningfully. There's just too much demand for bullshit and the bills gotta get paid. So I guess, no, science hasnt gone too far....humanity tho is beyond saving.
